Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main Dining great service. Food very tasty. Not a great deal of options but enough that you could find something you liked. Very clean. Wait staff very professional. Knew our names the first night. Windjammer was as equally as satisfying. Lots of options. Very clean! Hand washing wad promoted heavily which I appreciated very much!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Shows were very entertaining. High quality of talent. Enjoyed them all. Also took part in the dances and game show games. Bingo was pricey so unfortunately decided not to play. Pool small but seemed adaquate for number of guests using it.

Entertainment

Cabin / Stateroom

Small but that's what we paid for and got. All was clean and well maintained. Beds comfy. Attendant had it cleaned twice a day. No complaints at all.

Ship tip

Smallest ship with the biggest heart! Wouldn't hesitate to sail again on Empress. Not sure that there would be enough activity for a 7-10 day cruise but for the 4 night it was perfect.

Dirty, didn't care for the locals harassing for money. Didn't feel like i could trust anyone there. Made that part of the trip unenjoyable. They were friendly just HI PRESSURE. I don't care for that. Would opt for different port next time. We did opt for a low key day at British Colonial Hilton that was nice, clean and enjoyable place.
